New Jersey actually has a much tougher standard than ‘good cause’. You have to demonstrate “justifiable need “ to carry. My friend who manages a section 8 apartment complex in Camden has been denied a permit even though there have been several murders there in just a few years. The New Jersey Supreme Court has given “ justifiable need “ a very strict interpretation. It would be awesome if this kind of case could win at the SCOTUS, giving us here in the peoples republic of jersey a chance.
New Jersey is a basket case when it comes to gun laws.
